I I TH&TAUOF mm BT ARTHUR 5C0TT BAILET Peter's Bad Temper. . Peter Mink Mas always quarrel ing. And he seemed always ready to light to tight even people who were four times bigger than he was. And when heNfought, Peter usually won. But there was one persou Ptter Mink was ai'raid of; and that And then what do you suppose Mr. Rabbit did ? , 1 iv&s Fatfy-j Coon. Fatty was almost too big for Peter Mink to whip. AncH his teeth were very sharp. , And lus . claws wCro like thorns; One day Peter and Fatty had a clis-( pute. Fatty Coon had said that a Jich made the finest meal in the world. Rut Peter Mink spoke up at f'oncc and said it wasn't so. "There's nothing quite like - a duck,'' he said. , : J ' Fatty Coon sneered. "Ducks may be all right"; he cried. "In fact, in my opinion they arc far too good for finy member of the Mink family to eat. But for me gifce me a plump hen!" And just thinking about liens made him think of green corn. "Give, me a plump lien and plenty of Rrcen corn!" And he looked all around, as Tfh,e expect ed somebody would hurry lip to him with a hen in one haid and a dozen cars 6i corn in.thc other. But nobodjh-came. "You're -a big gtutton!" Peter Mink shouted. He was very angry. But he did not . dare fight Fatty Coon." ' -' i "1 guess vou wish I was sriKllcr," said Fatty Coon, "so you could fight me. At that, Peter Mink looked very fierce. And he turned to Frisky Squirrel and Billy Woodchuck and Jimmy Rabbit and shouted:' "Take hold of me, quick, you fel lows, before " I hurt him! FoisI can't keep myhands off'hiin a second , longer!" ! , When they heard that Fatty's ' friends Were frightened. Th' were afraid Peter Mink would flat him and hurt him terribly. ,So'they all ' seized Peter and held him fast, while they begged Fatty to run away. " Now, Fatty. Coon was not the least bit afraid of Peter. But talking of good things to eat. had made him so hungry that he felt he. must hurry down to Farmer Green's cornfield at once. So he said "Goodby!" and left - them. After Fatty had disappeared Fe$.er Mink said it was safe to let hitlgo again, but that It was lucky they had held him. ' " And Frisky "Squirrel and Billy Woodchuck and - Jimmy Rabbit agreed afterwards that Pjeter Mink Was a dangerous fellow. They w.we . glad that Fatty Coon had escaped. The next day almost, the same happened again. Only this time Peter Mink 'remarked that there was nothing any tastier than a fine eel. Fatty Coon told him that eels might be good enough for the Mink family, but as for him he preferred green "Somebody bold me, quick!" Peter Mink screamed. "I don't want to - hurt him but I'm losing my temper ""Several of Fatty Coon's friends j started to seize Peter Mink, so Fatty might run away. But there was one norenn nrr-srfit who had not been there the day before. This was Tom my Fox: And k onl laughed when Peter Mink said what he din .'"Don't touch him!" -Tommy Fox told the others.. "Let's . see what he'll do. Fatty isn't afraid of him." V "Whv. certainly not!' Fatty Coon vsaid. And he smiled in such a way tliif he. showed his sharp teeth. .' '.. "Somebody stop rue. before it's too . late! ' Peter Mink cried. . But nobody laid a hand on him Ai.H still Peter did "not move. "Go ahead!" Tommy Fox urged him. "You said you were losing ' your temper, you know. x 'I'm waitine!" Fattv Coon called And he held up both his front paws. Peter saw how strong and sharp his claws were. -.,- "I declare," Peter Mink said. I haven't lost my temper, after all. I felt it going.fbr a moranL But it came back again." (Copyright.

Being so frequently obliged to shift his allegiance, the duke had a coat made which was blue on one side, and white on the olher and might be worn with either side out. When, in the interests of diplomacy, he thought it best to side with the Soauiards. Emmanuel would Wear the blue side outermost, while, if he was working with the trench, his coat would appear to be white.
